Don't know if it's planned obsolescence or just laziness but all of my Nintendo Switches have at least a little drift and I've bought at least two replacement sets of joy-cons AND replaced just the joystick on one unit (PITA and replacements didn't work 100% so I stopped repairing).

I sent mine in to Nintendo to get fixed, I think they had to do it for free.

Check out hall effect replacement sticks next time, better than new and supposed to hold up a while

Xbox controllers are really bad about this too. I've had like three or four Xbox controllers get stick drift on me in the last 6 or 7 years.
